Total abstinence and prohibition
have carried our cause to the high-wa-
ter mark of the hour. We will not
repudiate them; we will not permit the
enemy TO suggest new methods, to in-
vent tactics for us, or to clandestinely
capture and spike our guns - We have
fought too long and hard, and have
gained too great vantage ground to
think of compromise with scared en-
envy. We have nothing 10 gain and
everything to lose by an armistice. We
have aroused public opinion; we have
aroused the church as never before;
we have powerful temperance liter
ature; we have been reinforced by the
artillery of science, we have enlisted
the prayers and purpose, patience and
persistence of legions of Christian
women; we have been cheered by the
signal benedIction of God, and COM
promise or surrender of total absti-
nence or prohibition would be shame
less treason Rev. f. o. Peck, d. d.

Since drunkenness comes first and
hardest upon woman, since it is to her
what swine is to garden, roofing
up every sweet blossom, and destroy
ing every fruit, and making wilder
ness of the garden of the Lord, l have
a right to say to every young woman;
By your look, by your work, and by
your act, bear testimony and exert
your influence against intemperance.
Let not your fair hand, that yet one
day shall go out in pledge, convey to
another the cup which shall desoIate
and destroy the household. If there
be one thing that woman should stand
for, it is temperance.-[H Henry Ward

Gen. Grants war Articles.

The following dialogue at a business in-
teryiew took place at Long Branch be-
tween Mr.. Roswell Smith, the president
of The Century company, and Gen.
Grant:
What is your opinion, az a business
man, Mr.. Smith, the general inquired,
''of the value of these articles which my
self and others have been asked to writer
Mr.. Smith replied: ''Well, Of course,
general, every business venture is more or
less a risk. / viii only ask you yourself
what sort of a card for magazine you
would think it if its editor could secure
two papers on the battle Of Waterloo, one
by the Duke Of Wellington and the other
by Napoleon?''
"I should say they would be of the
greatest interest, y replied Gen. Grant
We'll said Mr.. Roswell Smith,
there are million of men still living in
this country who fought on one side or
the other in our late war. Don't You sup
pose a good many of them would read
about battles they had taken part in with
as much interest as they would read about

A Russian Noble three Robbins.

A piece of interesting information comes
from trustworthy source. 1t will be re-
membered that the submission of the
Merv Turcomans was gained by help Of
the famous Moscow merchant, Kouschine,
who sent his so called trading caravan
into Merv in charge of Alixhanoff and
other officers in disguise. For the great
services then rendered, this pioneer of
Russian conquests in Central Asia has
been rewarded with patent of hereditary
nobility. His firm is well known for its
manufacture Of cheap and highly colored
cotton prints for the Asiatic market, and
the arms now granted to him and his de-
scendants display three bobbins, indicating
the means of his elevation to rank and
fortune.
Precisely the same cayavan tricks, am
assured, are now tried in Afghan Turkes-
tan, and by exactly the same persons.
Tkis Moscow house is full of enterprise,
and being backed up by the government,
with privileges over the Transcasnian
railway and elsewhere, of course sticks at
nothing. Last February its politico COM
mercial caravans introduced Moscow
goods into the bazars of Herat. Chicago

An Indian salmon Dance.

The Indians residing on the Yakima
reservations below the gap held one of
their punpums or tumanimus dances in
their medicine house Sunday last. The
dance and accompanying weird incanta-
tions were for the purpose of propitiating
the good spirit and in supplication for
bountiful run of Chinook salmon. The
lodge, low structure about seventy feet
in length, was covered with tule mating,
and in this were 200 bucks, squaws and
papooses fantastically clad and painted in
all the colors of the rainbow. The dance
was under the direction of Ko-ti-a-con,
one of the head medicine men. For hours
the Indians danced and chanted their mo-
notonous songs, until tired nature as
serted itself, and they would fall on their
knees and offer up their "amens' TO the
exhortations of the medicine man.

oueer Notions in PennsSlvanla.

In the less serious affairs of life with the
Pennsylvania Dutch.they are not lacking
in queer notions and practices. They in
sist on having their hair cut when the
moon is in Leo, that it may grow strong
and wiry, or in Aries, that il may curl
like split dandelion stem; and il they
pare their corns when the moon is waning,
as in duty bound, they will disappear.
Their plump daughters also have few
superstitions which have been timorously
handed down from mother 10 child that
are cherished, womanlike, fondly and in
secret. Should You ever see one of these
maidens astride a house yard dog, or the
gate, or the bars, enduring such physical
torment like humble penance, under the
dim light of the moon, do not disturb her
She will simply be propitiating good for
tune as to marriage. Nor will she ever
look through window glass, or over her
left shoulder, ut new moon. She dis
likes bringing flowers in doors, for that is
an omen of i'll fortune, in that the bride
groom should always come before the
flowers If she cherish in some little cor
ner of the garden a pretty bed of snap
dragons, she does SO from her firm belief
in its potency destroying the evil love
charms of her rivals; or, if she discovers
such evil charm to exist, she may dispel it
by lying vigilantly awake three nights in
succession until the midnight growing of
the cock.
In secret she also amuses herself by
catching snails and letting them crawl in
thinly spread oaken ashes on the hearth,
or before the fireplace, to trace the initial
letter of her true lovers name. If she go
to bed early, laying her garters, crossed,
at the foot of her bed, placing a looking
glass under her pillow, and awaken in the
highland what lass would not with such
expectancy in her heartily striking q
light quickly, she will see her lovers face
in the glass. Another delight of her sim
pie heart and life is ''hair snatching,h
which is not of the kind indulged in by
her married American sister. When the
new moon has arisen she suddenly opens
the house door, and thrusts her trem-
bling hand out into the night for lock of
her lovers hair. If all the good spirits
are with her hopes she will not seek
amiss, for some sturdy Dutch lad, in
league with the fairies, is more than
likely to be loyalty in waiting outside to
thus provide her with the longed for
locks, in veritable color and kind.-Edgar

Fooled on n Horse Trade.

Half dozen farmers were yesterday
talking shop" at hotel not far from
the market Among other subjects OF
rural interest that of horse-theves was
introduced. Said one of them:
Il learned good scheme by mighty
dear experience, which l think was
worth the price. About six months ago
= young fellow drove up to my gate
with as likely bay colt rs you'd see in
month, hitched to light spring wag-
on. He got out, and, walking over to
me, asked the way to the nearest black
smith-shop. told him 1t was five miles
and by the time he got there the shop
would be closed. You'll see. rs go on,
how nicely bit. Well. he said he was
barbed- wire-fence man and he'd
bought colt which he was afraid was
too young to stand the long drives he
had to take. Anyway, she'd cast a
shoe, an he'd got to make Pontiac that
night, so he'd trade for my watch-eyed
chestnut that was in the barnyard and
$50 to boot, insight an unseen.
my boss was good locker, an his
asking such boot fooled me complete

an hour an he finally come down to
